But you get used to them quickly and horses for courses, you use each when the benefits are required

Understand the task and set the saw up accordingly

Yeah, that's a fair statement. I found the 361 was unhappy with a light bar with only the inside bumper dog on it - it was enough distance between the bar and the dog for a side pull when the saw was hauling against the dog to put a flex on the bar. I fitted a set of slim matching dogs the same length as the factory single dog (they are an order in from Stihl not a stocked item). Sorted that out, and stopped the issue of the saw pulling against the alloy of the clutch cover when cutting through the crutch of an avo or the like. Didn't seem to do the same when the solid bar was on it, and to be fair the weight difference on a saw that size was barely noticeable. Looked a bit stupid I thought with the full size dog pair on it, the dog spikes looked half the length of the bar on such a small saw!!!
